The Nameless #5

Issue five of Image's The Nameless arrives with a September 1997 cover that plunges you straight into the tension — a dark, caped figure raises a blade against a swarm of reaching, clawed hands tearing at them from every direction. Phillip Hester's pencils and Bruce McCorkindale's inks give the scene a raw, kinetic energy, with the scratchy linework making those grasping limbs feel genuinely unsettling. Joe Pruett's series continues to deliver brooding, atmospheric storytelling that fits right at home in Image's adventurous mid-90s lineup.
